Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of VITAMIN D inadequacy in
patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis and peritoneal DIALYSIS (PD) and its
association with inflammatory and nutritional factors. Materials and Methods: A total of 176
hemodialysis and 32 PD patients participated in the study. Serum levels of 25-
hydroxyvitamin D, albumin, parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, highsensitivity C-
reactive protein (HSCRP), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were measured. Data on …

Abstract Dear Editor: We have recently read with interest the article entitled “Association
Between 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Inflammatory and Nutritional Factors in
Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis Patients in Qom, Iran” that published in your esteemed
journal. 1 In this article, Mirchi and colleagues evaluated the role of inadequate serum level
of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and found the significant relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D
and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and neutrophillymphocyte ratio.
